Our creativity and curiosity are boundless! With that in mind, WhiteHat Jr. is proud to unveil its Space Explorer Program, which aims to support youth from around the world, by giving it direct access to a satellite.
We firmly believe that providing children with a front-row seat to the latest advances in space science will serve as a powerful catalyst for them to pursue STEM subjects. We are especially excited to support the inclusion of girls in those male-dominated fields.
We have partnered with a leading space company to launch a satellite in December 2021. In addition, we will have limited access to a second satellite scheduled to launch in June 2021. Both satellites will leverage the SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rideshare.
Key characteristics of our December 2021 satellite (codename AYANA) include:
- 30+ onboard sensors (e.g., infrared, temperature, etc.)
- Cameras and other tools
- A programmable computer (Raspberry Pi)
- Communication with a station on Earth once every 5-6 hours
Observe planet Earth from
space
Detect and analyze
weather phenomena
Collect data streams from
various tools and sensors
Analyze the outer space environment
Predict weather and
terrestrial anomalies
Send dedicated postcards
from space
The missions outlined above are just the beginning! We are in the process of setting up the idea crowdsourcing infrastructure to be able to solicit feedback from kids everywhere on how to best utilize our satellite.
Read on to learn how to get early access and stay tuned for more exciting developments!
The program will be available to WhiteHat Jr. students who enroll in our 144-class coding course.
Students will build curriculum-based applications, using dedicated software. The code will be transmitted to the satellite via API. Once received, the onboard computer & the WhiteHat Jr. payload computer would be set up to orchestrate systems, run the application, analyze the sensor data, and send the results back to students on Earth.
We are excited to make this program available to students globally. Sign up today to get early access!
